Taere were s+voral large auction sales yesterday, bat, with one or two exceptions, the goods weat off atrather lower rates than those obtaioed at pre vious sales of the season. This was partly owing to weveral large sales fa!liag together on the same day, and the diversion to some extent of the atteation of purckasers by the feoling and excitement gow dng cut of the melancholy loss of life by tho A ctic. Messre. Coffin & Haydock commenced a large catalogue sale of French goods yesterday, which comprised 1,345 lote. The sale was continued unti: 992 lots were gore through with.

However, there ia a time for all taings, avd this ia most eaqutstion- sbly the time for politicians to :ise or fall. THE FISHERIES, Our Washington despatch contains important in- formation relat ve to the fisheries, Mr. Perley has succeeded in inducing our government to agree to propose to Congress a re missioa of duties on colonial caught fish imported into the country pending the acceptance of the reciprocity treaty by the pro- vin jal authorities, This is bat fair, considering th tre fishing grounds bave been thrown open per se to the enterprise of our citizens, who will doubtiess mske the most of the privilege ducing the brief pe- riod which remains of the present fishing season, AFFAIRS IN THE CITY. +. Abeavy verdict of three thousand dollars was j awarded a concrete contractor, in the Court of Com- mon Pleas yesterday, against the Second Avenue Railroad Company tor a breach of contract. Tie mortality on board emigraat ships arriving at this pert is frightful. Yesterday the packet saip ‘Harvest Queen arrived from Liverpool, and her re poit givea seventy-fonr desths on the passage. On board the French vessel called the Piscatore, also arrived yesterday, from Havre, fifty dcatus from obvlera cocurred on the voyage.

The Irish Civil and Military Repudiicen Union beld a regular meeting lass evening, which was very well attecded. £ The Late Electious—What Next? The results of the late State electious in Penn- sylvania, Ohio .and Indiana are pertectly as. tounding. They finish the work in the North of the aestruction of the two old party organi- zations between which the administration ot the government end the destinies of the coun- try have been oscillating for the last twenty- five years. The Know Nothings appear to have been the controlling ferce in Pennsylvania. The ad ministration forces, dropping all other issues a: secondary considerations, fought the baitle as against this mysterious aud dreadiul fraternity of the Know Nothings, and “no quarter” was the ery. The result is the election of the whig coulition candidate for Governor by some thir- ty thousand majority, a few thousands more or less, making no material difference ia the crash- ing force of the fatal blow. But the anti-Ne- braska sentiment and the temperance qnestioa contributed much to the increased gubernato. rial, congressional and legislative gains of the coalition whigs, On the other hand, the de- moralized democracy had nothing to stand upon, out an administration and a Kitchen Cabinet of spoilsmen already “weighed in tho balance and ound wanting,” and suggestive of nothing but accumulating disasters, as a nucleus for the re- construction of the party. The keyatone hay- ing fallen out the whole arch crumbles to the ground, Ja Ohio the Know Nothings aided very mate- tially in swelling the revolutionary avalaache; but there the overriding element was the anti- slavery furore excited upon the Nebrasks bill—that desperate expedient of the adminis- tration to neutralize the “ Scarlet Letter” in the South. In Indiana, too, the Kuow Nothiags, though co-operating with, were overshadowed by the anti-Nebraska anti-slavery allimace. Tn both of th States, as in Pennsylvauia, the general result, ia the expressive language of Kit Carson, * wipes out” the Cabinet spoils men and the democratic party, end over- whelms the whig basis of the opposition with a conglomeration of odds and ends, of princi- ples and factions, utterly repugnant to each other, snd totally incapable of any permanent or practical cohesion. We repeat it: the democratic party of the North identified with the present administra- tion at Washington is “wiped out,” extermi- nated, gone. Thore is nothing in the admiais- tration upon which its brokea legions can be re-organized ; and the remnant of its term of existence is getting too short to justify the slightest expectation of anything “ tarning up’ to redeem its fallen fortunes. Aud so the Northern demosratic party, ia connection with the administration, is routed, dispersed, and disbanded. But the revolution stops not here. The fact which we have stated conceraing the old whig party of the North is as undeniably true as that the imperial guard of the Nortaern administration democracy are “crushed out.” The old N orth- erm whig party has ceased to exist. In Penn -ylvania, Obio, and Indiana, as at Saratoga, Syracuse and Auburn, it is swallowed up ina temporary coalition of irreconcilable factions, of which the spirit of abolitionism is the crowa ing element, dropping tte ~» «gfses nal boldly proclaiming ii« t¢ gra of sedition and die: Here lies the dou + serve ont its limite! eo as it has boen develnyy si, s.ieu ts sa to wrangle over th: spoils, Bas tae uti slavery alliance of the North stands upon « permanent jssue for the fiercest agitation and the most perilous sectional warfare. The late elections “ open up” an inviting prospect {Sr Seward and his active conspirators, and for their projected Nortbern crus ide in 1856 against the South. And hence the question more forcibly recurs than ever heretofore—what do the Uvion men of the North and of the South propose to do? The administration is cox demned, the democratic party is swept away, and the remains of the old whig purty are sal) merged in a disunion coalition, The conspira tors against the Union are rapidly organizing ander the flim-y disguise of a “ republicas party.” Where now are the noisy orators of the tle Garden Union Safety Committee ' Where pow are the admioistration democracy 4 the South? What do tory prop se to mest the evil of the day? Lt us hear—let ds bear, The Reocnt Dicaster—Safety of the Vesta. We bed no idea, when we expressed a doubt | of the tetal loss of the propetler which ran into | the Arctic, that our hopeful snppesition was to | be sos: conirmed. Yexterday efteraooa we | received the news of ker safe arrival at port, | with all her own crew and passengers except tho-e swim ed ia the boat by th» Arctic, and | thirty-one of the seamen and hans of the lat- ter, who were rercued from the tragments of | the wrec. She turns eut, as we imagined, to | be a Fre: ch vessel, t e Vesta, Nothing has yet been heard of the missing boats of the Are- | tic, or of ihe 2@1 passengers not accounted for. | "The recue 0” thirty-one more sdilors—taken in connection with the prolonged disappearance of these passengers—impels us at length to break ihr. ugh the reserve we yesterday thought | fit to keep on the sub ect of ths coadact of the crew f the Arctic. There is a limit to the for- bearance which charity suggests: and we have reached it. It is time that the world snou'd know that while the water was pouring through the seams in the bow of the Arctic uni death advanced with fearful strides, the men compos- ing the crew of that vessel, iuctading seamen, engineers and firemen, were, with one or two exceptions, engaged in providiog fur their owa safety, to the utter disregard of that of the lives enirusted to their charge. They who were sthongest: who kuew best how to escrpe the canger; who were most accustomed to al: frout death in this shape ; who were mozt familiar with the boats aud ther tackle, asd who were best fitted to combat with the peril bow threatening mea, women and children alik: 5 were the first to yield to selfishuess and cow- ardice, the first to save themselves at the ex pense of those they were bound to rescue at al! costs, They have succeeded : thirty-oue more seamen have been brought asbore, but not oue passenger. It was aot for want of example they failed in their duty as men and siilor:, Captain Luce was there, to teach them uli how to die. Yoong Collias was there, setting 9 gal- lant exomple of self-denial and courage. The brave Dorian was there, full of energy and de- votion, But these reereant sailors were blind alike to the example of their officers, aud the clear dictates of duty. Nor must censure be confined to the seamen: How does it happen that the Arctic went to sea with four hundred souls on board, while her six boats could not contain half the number? Mr, George H. Burns states that the boat in which he was saved, and which contained some twen- ty-two persons, was so crowded that the bodies of those on board were bruised by the close contact with each other. Even if we aliow that each of the six boats could carry thirty persons, that would only amount to one ban- dred and eighty, while the Arctic contained Jour hundred and one persons. Again. how is it that whenever a shipwreck takes place, we hear tbat the tackles of the boats have given way, and they have proved useless? We are told that they break in con- sequence of the unusual weight then placed in the boats: but what are they put there for, it it is not to custain this very unusual weight? It is time that both the number of the boats of every sea going veasel, their capacity and tackles, were inspected by some public officer appointed for the purpose. Finaliy, some thonght must be bestowed on this practice of running at full speed throngh a dene fog: a practice steadily pursued by all the ocean steomers, That it must increase the chances of collisions everybody must see; but ne one openly objects to it. Every year one or more Vessels are run down off the Banks, and their crews lost. Only afew years ago the Charles Bartlett was run over by the Europa, and one hundred and forty-two persons drowned The Arctic bas now been run down. What is to be done? Shall the steamers be compelled to slacken speed in the fog? Who will consent to wait three more days for news? But, at all events, some means might be taken to wara vessels of the approach of these steamers: the steam whistle might be kept going incessantly. Avything to prevent such disasters as that of the Arctic.
